Bugatti Veyron

armchairninja

Hi all,
Just a question about the Bugatti Veyron, I was looking through the "What I saw Today" thread and saw a few pics of one.
Last I heard of these was on Top Gear, I was of the understanding that it was purely done as an experiment and that if they were to actually produce them, they would be doing so at a loss.
Is this still the case, does the veyron that has been seen on the net in diff. locations have the same specs as the one on top gear i.e. the 10 radiators, the W16 engine or is it a toned down spec, and the only thing the same as the looks of the car.
And what is the price of buying one, considering clarkson said that it cost 1 million+ to develop the Veyron in the first place.

For anybody that didnt see the top gear episode on it, heres a link to the first 3 min of the slot:

The rest of the slot can probably be found on the site too

I was told by a Bugatti dealership in Berlin that they are available for immediate delivery. I know nothing about top gear, but according to the spec sheet it has the 1k bhp engine and is good for 400km/h.

Like every good Bugatti customer, I didn't ask the price.

They are in production alright but I presume theres quite a waiting list. I think the price is one million euro.

Most of the answers should be here.

It defo seems like they have gone back on themselves and started making more of them, they are all the full blooded monsters that were on TG, if you have a spare 1.3M then look no further:

They are a production car but they're a limited edition car, they're wont be many produced.

Meh, the Weineck Cobra is more powerful and possibly even faster than the Veyron.

There was talks of a 4 door and smaller spyder version of the Veyron in the works.....

It cost them more to make it than they sell it for... Its just an engineering feat and with the amount of talk/press its had over the past few years its a load of free advertising...

That cobra has something stuck to its nose :rolleyes:


# 0-200 km/h 4,9 s.
# 0-300 km/h 10 s.
1,100 hp at 7,000 rpm.
Engine displacement: 780 cui (12.9 L)


They say its the worlds most powerfull road legal car blah blah blah... The veyron produces at least 1000+ hp.. Each engine produces different HP but they all produce more than 1000...
